FREE BATHS OF NEW YORK.
Sources of Dreadful Contagion and Suf:
fering-Loss of Sight, Etc.

Sources of Dreadful Contagion and Suf-
fering-Loss of Sight, Etc.
The free swimming-baths of this city are
prolific sources of contagion. Many cases of
entire loss of sight, numerous instances Of
permanent impairment of vision and, there
is reason to believe, a number of deaths are
annually traceable to these public lavatories.
One or more victims of the bath disease as
the malady has come to be called in unpro-
fessiOnal language, are received for treatment
in each of the eye and ear intirmaries of the
city almost daily during the bathing season.
At the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary
alone as many as six cases have been received
in a single day, and the average is from three
to five for each week of the bathing season.
The disease which always attacks the eyes,
is known technically as purulent conjuncti-
Wits. 1t is contracted by bathing i'll water in
which diseased persons have bathed or are
bathing. The malady is infectious as well as
contagious, and so much so that a case is
never kept in the same room with any other
patient who is under treatment for an affec-
ton of the eyes. Indeed, it is the usual
practice to isolate them altogether. Unless
the disease is taken in hand at the very first
manifestations, the total loss of both eyes is
likely to result, and even when treated from
the outset permanent mpairment ofthe sight
results IN the majority of cases.-New York

BERRY WALL.

The King of the Dudes and the Envied of
the Baggy-kneed Inpecunious.
THAT is Berry Wall the king of the
dudes. You We read about him, haven't
you?"
"Oh, yes; but there's nothing in particu-
lar about that fellow to exploit
Isn't there? Wait and see 1t is true that
Berry Wall hardly ever wears an extrava-
gantly peculiar suit Especially this sum
mer is he no more fam boyant than the
average OF young fellows at Long Branch.
White flannel suits are common there, and
shirts are OF so many bright colors that
chance row of them would make a good
rainbow. IT is in the number of his toilets
ana their sCrupulous care that Berry Wall
earns his reputation. He desplses the typi-
cal dandy, and as he sat yesterday on the
Veranda ana saw carriage load go past he
remarked with emphatic sarcasm.
Three to one, and no wonder she can't
choose"
Three miserable, inane dudes sat on the
'front.' seat facing a single pretty, dainty, de-
mure girl, who had taken them out for
drive in her fathers carriage. Berry is not
eye-gaSsed, he doesn't carry a knobby stick
and his collars are not exaggerated. But he
does change his clothes every two or three
hours. One morning he ate his breakfast in
sack coat and trousers of green, black and
''N iiSSho' q VI pun, anu q %
Drimmed straw hat. About the middle OF
the forenoon he came out in white flannel,
with white canvas shoes and white cap.
Just after noon he bathed in a gray tight
suit Next he dressed for the races in long
trock coat and trousers of light brown. a high
hat to exactly match in color, and even the
leather strap from which his field glasses
hung across his shoulder was of precisely the
same hue. On his return he went to dinner
IN a costume of blue stripes with coral
shirt These shirts are his pride. He has
dozens of them without repetition. The
collars and cuffs worn with them. however,
are invariably white, He wound up tne
night in black frock coat, pearl trousers

A REASONING RODENT.
The Remarkable Caution Displayed by a
Gray and Whiskered Rat.

The Remarkable Caution Displayed by a
Gray and Whiskered Rat.
On very warm day in early summer I
happened to be standing near chicken coop
in backyard when l noticed the bead of a
very gray and grizzed rat thrust from a
neghboring rat hole and concluded to watch
the movements Ofthe veteran. After a care
full survey of the surroundings. our old
rodent seemed to be satisfied that all was
right and made cautious exit from the home
retreat. A fresh pan of water had been re-
Gently placed before the chicken coop, and
the water looked friendly invitation to the
thirsty old rat, which Immediately started
toward it.
The rat had not reached the pan before
five half-grown young ones rushed ahead
and tried to be the first at the water. The
old rat thereupon Immediately made leap
like kangaroo, and was at the edge of the
dish in advance of the foremost of the lit
ter. Then ensued most remarkable occur
renee. The mother rat raised herself on her
launches and bit and scratched her Off
spring so severely whenever they attempted
to reach the water that they all finally
scuGded away, evidently much astonished
and frightened at the strange and unac-
countable behavior of their mother. When
the little ones were at a safe distance the
reasons for her extraordinary behavior be-
gan to be revealed at once in the intelligent
action of the old mother-rat.
She first wetted her whiskers in the water,
looked suspiciously about her. then very eau
tiously and carefully took dainty little sip
of the liquid. She tasted it as tentatively and
critically as professional tea-taster, ana
when she was satisfied that it contained no
poisonous or deleterous matters she gave a
couple of squeals, which quickly brought her
young and thirsty brood to her side, and all
fearessy drank to their fill. Now, this old
mother rat was experienced, had evidently
learned her lesson in that school thoroughly,
and SO she would not allow her young and
untaught litter to taste water which might
have contained rat poison or what not until
she had satisfied herself that the Iqud was
harmless. Does not this look very like rea-

FARMER ONHIS WlFE,S DEATH,

Poor heart bereaved,
What can God give to thee
To compensate for what He took away?
Oft hast thou grieved;
But then she grieved with thee,
And now alone thou first feel'st sorrows
sway.
All through the day
Shall Sorrow walk with thee;
While the slow oxen draw the heavy plow,
Thy lonely way
Of life thou seem st to see
In the dark furrow that thou treadest now,
When sinks the sun,
And homeward thou dost turn,
How sinks thy heart to see the closed doorl
Where is the one
For whom thy heart doth yearnp
Shall her smile bid thee welcome home no
more?
Thy dry leaves sigh
Beneath thy heavy tread;
The sunsets golden glow fades into night;
AS thou draw'st nigh
The very house seems dead,
Nor greets thee with its wonted cheerful
light.

MARY JAMES MEMOIRS,

Some Angry Criticisms Made by Indig-
nant British Matrons
Mr.. G. R. Sims, the English novelist, has
edited a book entitled MARY James
Memoirs" written by an English servant
girl. The matrons of England are indignant
that Mr.. Sims should have lent his name to
extending the circulation of such a volume
One Of these ladies writes an indignant letter
to the Pail Mail Gazette, in which she says
that Mary Jane Buff han, the author of the
book, was by nature an industrious and
respectable housemaid. Unhappily she was
egotlstical and indiscreet, and not honest
enough to perceive that in sitting up at night
to write her memoirs she was misappropriat-
ing time purchased by her employers, max
ing use of family matters which in no sense
belonged to her, and wasting not only gas
and Goals, but also the health and strength
needed for the efficient discharge of her
duties. ''-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

In the opinion delivered by Judge
Fenner: 1--WE take occasion promptly
to say that if the object of the law were
to compel the observation of Sunday
as religious institution we would
not hesitate to declare it to be violative
of the above constitutional prohibition.
1t would violate equally the religious
liberty of the Christian, the Jew, and
the intidel, none of whom can be com
PEELED by law to comply with any merely
religious observance, whether it accerds
with his faith and conscience or not.
With rare exceptions the American au
thorities concur in this view.
The statute is to be judged of precisely
as if it had selected for the day of rest
any day of the week, other than Sunday;
and its validity is not to be questioned,
because in the exercise of wise discre-
ton it has chosen that day which ma
ioritv of the inhabitants of this State,
under the sanctions of their religious
faith, already voluntarily observe as a
day of rest"
The digging for the foundations of the
new Roman Catholic cathedral at Picking
has been begun, and the workmen have
found in course of their work numerous
weapons, pieces of porcelain, etc, be-
longing to the Ming dynasty "a. D.
13GS-1644) AS the workmen get deeper
in the soil they will probably find objects
of far greater interest than those they
have already unearthed. The city dates
back to the Chow dynasty (B. G. 1122-B.
G.. 255), under which Confucius lived
and since that period it has played
an important part in the nations his
tory. In A. D. 937 the K'i-tam Tartars
made Yen-chow, as Picking was then
called, the capital of their reigning
dynasty, an example which was followed
by the sovereigns of the Kin dynasty
111j-1260), by Kublai Khan and his sue
cessors, and by the present ruling house.
When Marco Polo arrived in China he
found Kublai holding his court at Khan
balik, as he called Picking, in accordance
with the custom of the Turks and Per-
SLAMS. We may expect, therefore, to hear
of the discovery of objects of far more
interesting nature than those already
brought to the surface, and ii is much TO
be desired that the Chinese authorities
should be induced to preserve them as
national relics. In the Confucian temple
at Picking they have building admirably
suited for the purpose.
A large meeting of Evangelical Chris
tians has been held in Berlin to devise
measures for securing greater privileges
from the government for the state
church. They want more freedom, so
that the church may develop according
to its own genius, and ask that the voice
of the church be heard, particularly il
regard to appointing theological pro-
fessors.
